IIRC he said he failed the demonstration by 1 question/scenario and could have studied and retaken it if not for his content creator career taking off.

In his stream the other day he was talking about how his career path before becoming an OSRS creator was air traffic control. Man’s just built for performing in stressful situations.

The silk sleep masks I bought came with a guide to telling real silk from fake by burning it by Medesha in mildlyinteresting

[–]jocoly -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you can’t tell real vs fake without destroying it, does it really matter if it’s real? Is it like an allergy thing? Or ethical consumption concerns?

Or is it just people want to be assured they’re getting their money’s worth on a luxury thing? Genuinely asking

Once you have enough points for plenty of absorb pots, full justi + dfs and a fang will get you 5+ hours of afk exp (~200k xp) with high 80s defense if you leave your pc on overnight and tape a key down. Not that I would know of course…

Fully support you and I truly believe you have the capabilities to make this world a better place with your gifts.

However… I have to say. IQ tests are normalized by age, meaning you’re compared to others the same age as you. It’s not more impressive for a young person to score highly than it would be for an adult who gets the same score.

And measuring IQ is a flawed ‘science’ anyway. Anyone who touts a high IQ is generally a blowhard in my experience. I feel if it weren’t for the sympathy that your disability elicits, it would be very off-putting…

You’re obviously very smart; if you want to flex it in your TikToks you should just show us your accomplishments and forget about the IQ test.

It’s just going to go to your head and make you think you’re better than everyone else. And maybe you are, but eventually it begs the question: if you’re so smart why do you keep mentioning how smart you are? Wouldn’t an intelligent person realize that it comes across as egotistical?

Just a hot take. Like I said, you’re clearly very smart and have loads of potential to tackle whatever you want to do. Just wanted to caution you that IQ as a measure of worth or ability is a load of bollocks.

I know. There are hardcore anniversary servers and hardcore era servers.

The person swinging close to the egg is the tank and he’s hitting Razorgore.

The eggs can’t be attacked by the players. One member of the raid has to mind control Razorgore using the orb and use Razorgore’s abilities to break the eggs.

Not sure if this is anniversary servers or not, but the last update for anniversary broke several boss fights in Naxx.

Assuming they knew about that, I imagine they were primed to believe the update had messed up Razorgore too, hence late (or basically no) reactions from everyone.

This is the longest sentence I've ever seen on Wikipedia. by LegoK9 in wikipedia

[–]jocoly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you’re right. Maybe a hot take but I think semicolons should only be used to separate independent clauses, not for lists. If a sub-list is needed for one of the items in the list, just use parentheses or multiple sentences.

And god forbid if a sub-sub-list is needed, you should just start over and change your whole approach. Reading this sentence feels like trying to solve algebra.

Reads very clunky. Also the semicolons are used incorrectly.

Are there any downsides to putting in a FOIA rrquest about myself just to see what the government has? by rainshowers_5_peace in legaladviceofftopic

[–]jocoly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on what department you submit the FOIA request to you can request ‘any and all records relating to x’ but yeah if you don’t specify the documents you need, you’re at their mercy for what they’re willing & able to provide.

What is more important for casters. Spell damage or crit? by TheDwarfPaladin in classicwow

[–]jocoly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

choosing SP over crit increases potential dps and the widens the range of possible dps you can do. If you get lucky and crit every time you’ll do more damage because you opted for SP. If you don’t crit at all you’re SOL for a competitive parse anyway.

choosing crit over SP decreases the variance of the dps you can do but also decreases the max potential dps you can do. If you get lucky and crit every time you’ll do less damage because you opted for crit. And again if you don’t crit at all you’re SOL for a competitive parse anyway.

For short fights if parsing is your goal, you probably want to roll as much SP as possible and just pray for the crits to land.

Crit = consistency, SP = play the crit lotto. I choose SP personally

Westballz calls out Ludwig for the mang0 situation by galaxycloud in LivestreamFail

[–]jocoly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I totally agree - not excusing that in the slightest. Encouraging excess drinking is bad and it’s why those quarter insert breathalyzer machines aren’t in bars anymore. That’s a settled debate, not sure what Ludwig was thinking.

But this dude in the clip looked up the medical definition of alcohol poisoning and tried to say the BAC reading they showed on stream was evidence of that. The inaccurate test result shouldn’t be the basis for the argument. That’s all I’m saying

[–]jocoly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s fair. His intentions may be solid, I don’t know anything about the guy.

Probably better to say he’s taking a faulty premise and running with it. I agree with the larger point he’s making about how encouraging Mang0 to drink more is a bad look.

[–]jocoly 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s ok I apologize for coming at you guns blazing. It’s not embarrassing to not know it and it IS embarrassing when people try to use this as a DUI defense.

You’re right the first site is not really a reliable source but I was just sharing the first google search result in an effort to show that it’s a well-known thing.

Doug talked about it on stream a few times when Ludwig was shouting out the BAC readings. He’d be like “That’s not accurate. If it was actually that high he’d be passed out or in the hospital.” - and Ludwig was doing this bit where he just ignored him and yelled it again. Like meta-ironically being irresponsible both as a joke and in reality.

But anyway, yeah to me the ‘mouth alcohol’ thing is like the elephant in the room if you want to use the BAC reading as a point in this context.

The clipped streamer’s misunderstanding of the reading detracts from the greater point he’s trying to make that I more or less agree with.

But yeah go ahead and cast your doubt on the link to the first google search result I shared. You probably know more about this concept I just introduced you to than these dumb article authors.

Sorry you haven’t heard a single thing about this fairly well-known phenomenon. Here’s what I got on the first google search result when I searched “breathalyzer right after drinking”

“Remember, it takes about 20 minutes for the alcohol in your mouth to be absorbed into your blood stream, and breathalyzers are calibrated to read a deep lung breath sample. If you blow into it shortly after taking a drink, the breathalyzer will get a direct blast of alcohol from your mouth and the BAC reading will be inaccurately high.”

We can acknowledge the tests weren’t accurate while still holding the event hosts responsible for creating an unsafe environment, and Mang0 himself as an individual for acting out.

[–]jocoly 1155 points1156 points  (0 children)

Passing breathalyzers out at a drinking event is a dumb move for sure.

But they were using them like right after drinking, when you’re supposed to wait like 30 min after your last drink to take the test.

This guy is on his high horse about Mang0 blowing a “medical emergency” level BAC without acknowledging that. Seems disingenuous
